The Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care with Lamb Dry Dog Food is clinically proven nutrition that can help transform your pet’s life. As pets age, damage to the kidney tissues may occur, which affects the kidney’s role to function properly and filter toxins and waste from the blood. It is irreversible, and will lead to further loss of kidney function. This may also decrease their appetite, which could eventually result in the loss of muscle mass. And so the Hill’s nutritionists and veterinarians created this special diet, which supports your dog’s kidney function and helps to sustain muscle mass—in fact, the nutrition of k/d is clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.
Key Benefits- Protects vital kidney and heart function and supports the natural ability to build lean muscle daily.
- Enhanced Appetite Trigger (E.A.T.) technology helps increase the appetite and food intake.
- Made with controlled phosphorus and low sodium, plus therapeutic levels of l-carnitine and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Also includes high levels of essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein.
- Made in USA and clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.

Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.

Refused To Eat :-(
By SusanDogMom on Sep 19, 2020
My Dog is in stage 2 Kidney disease so this kind of food is a must. I have tried 3 flavors of this brand's dry food but she will not eat them. I even food processed this kibble to a powder and added water but no go. I finally bought the canned beef stew (k/d) and mixed that with this dry and she will just lick the stew off and leave the dry. I cannot afford the canned beef stew to feed daily on it's own because I have multiple dogs to feed. I feel the product is not bad but many dogs refuse to eat this because it has no taste (even though it is advertised to be highly palatable because dogs need to eat it). I tried it with my other dogs and my Daughters dogs just to test it - they all refused My Dog is in stage 2 Kidney disease so this kind of food is a must.

15 ½ year old Yorkie is not a fan.
By GunterFarm on Sep 30, 2020
My sweet little Yorkie has Cushings, kidney issues, sight, smell and balance problems, but his appetite has remained intact until I competed the gradual switch from Blue Buffalo Lamb/Rice kibble to k/d. I thought a little gravy would help, but no go. I really have to dress it up with his old canned food to in order for him to eat it. I read that the k/d canned food gets the same response from most dogs. I may try it anyway in hopes of my boy liking it. (Heavy sigh!)

great company
By Lola on Jul 24, 2020
My 12yr old rat terrier, developed kidney failure and became very picky about her food. initially started with the canned kid and eventually added the dry.She loves them both. Ordering from chewy is great. The website is simple and easy,even with the prescription diet to reorder. Shipment always super fast. Having a pet with health issues is always stressful but chewy makes a part of it less so.

She eats it!
By Kona on Jul 21, 2020
I give my girl mostly meals with the canned and I put some of this dry in her bowl because she likes to snack on it. Especially since I no longer give her many treats. And trust me she deserves them!

Happy girl!
By Missy on Apr 28, 2020
My girl has improved 100 percent over this last year improving her quality of life. Went from thoughts of losing her to happy girl. While we still deal with kidney issues, she is most definitely not suffering, nor are we! I highly recommend Hill's and I also recommend chewy! A+
